When do you guys think its time to retire a hat? I personally think that dirt and wear give a hat some character, and a hat should only be retired when something rips or breaks on it.

I have been wearing the same New Orleans Saint hat since I was about 11 or 12. Its been through alot (skateboarding, gigs, bicycling, changing oil, etc). It will be with me for the rest of my life, only other cap I have is a captain morgan gold cap.

Only when the last thread holding it together frays off. I have a problem with keeping too many hats around.

Dont retire it until it either reeks like dead animal or is so broken you cant wear it. Other than that you keep the hat.

I finally retired the hat I always wear after 6 years. It's been through so many tennis, softball, hockey, , basketball, running, etc so its gotten to the point that the sweat/water from rain have almost hardened the fabric.
